She has asked to sit beside Pauline Hanson in the Senate
Well this is going to be interesting if she does as I am sure some sparks will fly here as Pauline Hanson has urged police to investigate Thorpe's actions.
Has any other politicians ask to look into this incident.Pauline Hanson has also urged police to investigate Senator Thorpe’s actions over the weekend.
The One Nation leader wants Victoria Police to take a closer look at the CCTV and iPhone videos of the wild early morning verbal argument.
“I think Victoria police should be carefully examining that footage to determine if Senator Thorpe has broken the law,” Senator Hanson said.
“The Australian Human Rights Commission might also consider examining the footage for possible breaches of Section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act. I think the people subjected to her abuse on the weekend should come forward and see that she is held accountable, because the Senate has shown it’s too gutless to do so.
“No one – least of all an elected representative of the people – is above the law.”
Ms Hanson said Ms Thorpe was not an appropriate representative for Victorians.
“Many Victorians would be asking if Senator Thorpe had any intentions of fairly representing them in Canberra given her obvious contempt for parliament and for those Australians who do not share her Aboriginal heritage, and even her contempt for those who do share Aboriginal her heritage but not her views,” she said.
“That contempt is on full display in this footage and has been during incidents in which she has verbally attacked Aboriginal elders, or protested at public events, and even when she has spoken on the floor of the Senate.”
More of what happen is in the link here and Hanson's remarks.
